Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

Health is not a virtue and illness is not a character flaw or a moral failing. People who are healthy aren’t healthy because they did everything right. People who are sick aren’t sick because they did something wrong. Illness, both mental and physical, can hit literally anyone at any time. Good people aren’t exempt from suffering, so let’s kill the idea that if someone’s sick, it must be because they’re doing something wrong. That’s not how it works. The world isn’t fair like that.
